Description of Related Art

The electrostatic atomization technology is a liquid atomization spraying technology widely applied in agricultural plant protection spraying, electrostatic spraying, electrostatic atomization spray combustion, industrial electrostatic precipitation, and other fields. The electrostatic atomization nozzle developed based on the electrostatic atomization technology features small spray flow, fine particle size, uniform droplets, easy adsorption to the target, good backside adhesion effect, and so on. Especially in the technical field of mechanical pesticide spraying for agricultural plant protection, agricultural plant protection spraying machines using the electrostatic atomization nozzles generally have the advantages of pesticide saving, water saving, high working efficiency, and good pest control effects. Therefore, the electrostatic atomization nozzles are widely used in products such as knapsack sprayers, stretcher-mounted sprayers, mist sprayers, and orchard sprayers. The charge-to-mass ratio parameter is a key indicator of the product performance of the electrostatic atomization nozzles, and has an important influence on the spraying effect of the electrostatic atomization nozzles.

A conventional device for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio mainly uses a Faraday cylinder or grid as a droplet collection component to collect charged droplets sprayed by the nozzle, that is, collects the charged droplets sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle within a period of time (the spray time, generally ranging from dozens of seconds to several minutes) through the Faraday cylinder or grid, measures the total mass of the collected droplets by using a weighing instrument such as a balance, and meanwhile, measures the value of the current produced by the charged droplets flowing through the components such as the Faraday cylinder or grid by using an ammeter, and calculates the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the nozzle through the value of the current I, the total mass of the droplets m, and the spray time t by using the formula (1):

$\begin{matrix} {ɛ = {\frac{c}{m} = \frac{It}{m}}} & (1) \end{matrix}$ wherein ε, in microcoulombs/kilogram, is the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle; C, in microcoulombs, is the total quantity of electric charges of the charged droplets; I, in microcoulombs/second, is the value of the current produced by the charged droplets flowing through the droplet collection component and measured by the ammeter; m, in kilograms, is the total mass of the droplets sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle; and t, in seconds, is the spray time of the electrostatic atomization nozzle.

The conventional measurement device has the following major problems.

1. Due to insulation and other requirements of an electrostatic spraying system, the conventional measurement device cannot directly measure the spray flow parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle through an instrument such as a flowmeter. It mainly adopts a weighing method to measure the total mass of the droplets sprayed by the nozzle during the spray time (ranging from dozens of seconds to several minutes), and uses the spray time to calculate the average charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle during this period of time, which leads to the problems such as long measurement time and slow system response in the conventional measurement method.

2. The conventional measurement method and device require a Faraday cylinder or grid to collect the charged droplets. In order to measure the total mass of the droplets, the charged droplets collected by the Faraday cylinder or grid need to be transferred or guided to a weighing vessel (such as a measuring cylinder). During the transfer of the charged droplets from the Faraday cylinder or grid to the vessel, due to adsorption, evaporation, leakage, and other factors of the liquid on the surface of the Faraday cylinder or grid and the like, loss of the charged droplets is caused during the process of flowing into the vessel, which increases the systematic error in the measurement of the total mass of the droplets, thereby increasing the measurement error of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter and also prolonging the measurement time.

3. The conventional method requires the spray time to calculate the value of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter. However, the existing measurement system still needs much improvement in the on/off control of the spraying system, the stability of the spraying parameter, the measurement of the spray time, and so on. Moreover, some of the spraying systems are manually operated, resulting in a certain error in the measurement of the spray time, which further increases the measurement error of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter.

4. In the conventional measurement device, the liquid flows or is stored in the components such as the electrostatic atomization nozzle, the Faraday cylinder (or grid), the water outlet pipeline, and the weighing vessel. The liquid needs to be handled manually during or after weighing. The components fail to form a closed liquid circulation system, and the liquid sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle cannot be recycled. As for special test liquids or long-term tests, problems such as liquid leakage, contamination, or serious waste may easily occur.

II. The Working Principle of the System for Measuring the Charge-to-Mass Ratio

1. The Working Mode of the System for Measuring the Charge-to-Mass Ratio

According to different working states of the electrostatic atomization nozzle and the measurement system, the measurement system has the following two working modes:

The first working mode is used for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle of an electrostatic sprayer in a working state, and in this case, the electrostatic sprayer is directly connected to the electrostatic atomization nozzle, the electrostatic atomization nozzle is a part of the electrostatic sprayer, and during the spray test, the electrostatic sprayer provides the electrostatic atomization nozzle with the liquid to be sprayed. When the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle is measured in the first working mode, the liquid pump, the pressure regulating valve, and the throttle valve are in a closed state.

In the second working mode, the electrostatic atomization nozzle functions as an independent component to be measured and is not connected to the external electrostatic sprayer, the liquid is driven by the liquid pump to flow in closed circulation in the components such as the electrostatic atomization nozzle, the lower cylinder, the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe, the water storage tank, and the water supply pipe, so that the electrostatic atomization nozzle is continuously supplied with the liquid to be sprayed and the proceeding of the spray test is ensured, and meanwhile, the pressure regulating valve is controlled to adjust the output pressure of the liquid pump and the spray pressure of the electrostatic atomization nozzle, to realize measurement of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter under different spray pressures. When the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle is measured in the second working mode, the liquid pump, the pressure regulating valve, and the throttle valve are in an open state.

2. The Working Principle of the System for Measuring the Charge-to-Mass Ratio

When the electrostatic atomization nozzle is in the first working mode or the second working mode, the charged droplets sprayed downward by the electrostatic atomization nozzle are gathered in the lower cylinder, and under the influence of its own gravity, the liquid gathered in the lower cylinder flows to the water storage tank through the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe, and the charges carried by the charged droplets flow to the ground through the lower cylinder, the metal conducting wire, and the ammeter; therefore, the current produced by the charged droplets sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle into the lower cylinder can be measured in real time by the ammeter. During the initial spray stage, the liquid level in the lower cylinder is low, and the liquid flow from the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe to the water storage tank is smaller than the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle. With the ongoing of the spray test, the liquid level in the lower cylinder gradually increases, and according to the principle of steady free outflow of a liquid flowing through an orifice of a vessel, the liquid flow from the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe to the water storage tank increases accordingly. When the liquid level in the lower cylinder reaches a certain value, the liquid flow from the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe to the water storage tank is equal to the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle. In this case, the flow in the lower cylinder is in a steady state, and the liquid level in the lower cylinder and the current value of the ammeter are also in a steady state. According to the principle of steady free outflow of a liquid flowing through an orifice of a vessel, the spray flow Q can be calculated by using the following formula (2): Q=k ₀ d ₁ ²√{square root over (gh)}  (2) wherein Q, in cubic meters/second, is the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle; k₀ is a flow factor and is a dimensionless number; d₁, in meters, is the inner diameter of the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe; g, in meters/second squared, is gravitational acceleration; h, in meters, is the liquid level height in the lower cylinder.

Based on the definition of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle, through the formula (2) of calculating the spray flow, the present disclosure calculates the charge-to-mass ratio parameter by using the formula (3):

$\begin{matrix} {ɛ = {\frac{c}{m} = {{1000\frac{1}{\rho\; Q}} = {k_{1}\frac{1}{\rho\; d_{1}^{2}\sqrt{gh}}}}}} & (3) \end{matrix}$ wherein ε, in microcoulombs/kilogram, is the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle; C, in microcoulombs, is the total quantity of electric charges of the charged droplets; I, in amperes, is the value of the current produced by the charged droplets flowing through the droplet collection component and measured by the ammeter; m, in kilograms, is the total mass of the droplets sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle; Q, in cubic meters/second, is the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle; ρ, in kilograms/cubic meter, is the density of the liquid to be sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle; k₁ is modification coefficient, k₁=1000/k₀, k₀ is a flow factor and is a dimensionless number; d₁, in meters, is the inner diameter of the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe; g, in meters/second squared, is gravitational acceleration; h, in meters, is the liquid level height in the lower cylinder.

It can be seen from the above that, the liquid level height in the lower cylinder can be measured by using the ultrasonic level meter, and based on the principle of steady free outflow of a liquid flowing through an orifice of a vessel, the spray flow can be calculated indirectly. Meanwhile, the value of the current produced by the charged droplets sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle into the lower cylinder is measured by the ammeter. Based on this, the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle can be acquired through the spray flow and the current value, thereby achieving real-time measurement and monitoring of the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle.

When the measurement system is in the first working mode or the second working mode, the computer system calculates the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle according to the real-time current value and the real-time liquid level height output in the spray test, and it can be seen from the calculation formula (3) that, the charge-to-mass ratio parameter is specifically calculated by using the following formula:

$ɛ = {{k_{1}\frac{\overset{\_}{I\; 1}}{\rho\; d_{1}^{2}\sqrt{g\overset{\_}{h\; 1}}}} = {k_{1}\frac{\overset{\_}{I\; 2}}{\rho\; d_{1}^{2}\sqrt{g\overset{\_}{h\; 2}}}}}$ wherein ε, in microcoulombs/kilogram, is the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle; ρ, in kilograms/cubic meter, is the density of the liquid to be sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle; d₁, in meters, is the inner diameter of the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe; g, in meters/second squared, is gravitational acceleration; k₁ is modification coefficient, k₁=1080-1120; I1 and I2, in amperes, are real-time current values during the test of the measurement system; h1 and h2, in meters, are real-time liquid level heights during the test of the measurement system.

Compared with the conventional device and method for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio parameter in the prior art, the system for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio of an electrostatic atomization nozzle and the measurement method using the same provided by the present disclosure have the following features:

(1) Based on the principle of steady free outflow of a liquid flowing through an orifice of a vessel, the present disclosure designs the measurement system capable of acquiring in real time the spray flow of an electrostatic atomization nozzle. The system adopts the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder as droplet collection components, and by means of the components such as the lower cylinder, the liquid level tube, and the ultrasonic level meter, measures in real time the liquid level height in the lower cylinder to indirectly measure the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle, thereby realizing external real-time measurement of the spray flow of the electrostatic atomization nozzle, so that the spray flow does not need to be measured by mounting a flowmeter in the electrostatic sprayer or the like.

(2) The measurement system provided by the present disclosure adopts the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder as droplet collection components, and realizes real-time measurement of the spray flow directly through the components such as the liquid level tube and the ultrasonic level meter on the side surface of the lower cylinder. The charged droplets do not need to be transferred or guided to other vessels for weighing during the test. Therefore, the test process is simpler, and the measurement errors caused by factors such as adsorption, evaporation, and leakage during the transfer or guidance of the charged droplets are eliminated.

(3) By using the value of the current I and the spray flow Q, the measurement system provided by the present disclosure can directly acquire through calculation the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle. Since the sampling duration of the measurement system (several milliseconds to dozens of milliseconds) is very short, the measurement system has good real-time performance. Meanwhile, the method for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio based on the calculation formula (3) eliminates the spray time in the conventional measurement method, thereby reducing sources of errors and simplifying the test process.

(4) In the measurement system provided by the present disclosure, the electrostatic atomization nozzle, the lower cylinder, the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe, the water storage tank, the water supply pipe, the liquid pump, the pressure regulating valve, and other components form a closed liquid circulation system, realizing closed circulation of the liquid in the measurement system. When the electrostatic atomization nozzle functions as an independent component to be measured and is not connected to the external electrostatic sprayer, the measurement system can provide a liquid having a certain spray pressure for continuous spray of the electrostatic atomization nozzle, the liquid can be recycled in the measurement system, the problems such as liquid leakage and contamination may not be easily caused, and advantages such as adjustable spray pressure are also achieved.

As shown in FIG. 1, the measurement system has two working modes.

The first working mode is used for measuring the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 of an electrostatic sprayer in a working state. In this case, the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is directly connected to the electrostatic sprayer, and the external electrostatic sprayer provides the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 with the liquid to be sprayed. The electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is a part of the electrostatic sprayer. When the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is measured in the first working mode, the liquid pump 15, the pressure regulating valve 17, and the throttle valve 18 are in a closed state, the computer only acquires measurement data of the ammeter 9 and the ultrasonic level meter 12, and the liquid does not flow in closed circulation in the measurement system.

In the second working mode, the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 functions as an independent component to be measured, and is not connected to the external electrostatic sprayer. Driven by the liquid pump 15, the liquid flows in closed circulation in the components such as the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1, the lower cylinder 7, the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe 8, the water storage tank 13, and the water supply pipe 14, so that the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is continuously supplied with the liquid to be sprayed and the proceeding of the spray test is ensured. When the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1 is measured in the second working mode, the liquid pump 15, the pressure regulating valve 17, and the throttle valve 18 are in an open state, and the computer acquires measurement data of the ammeter 9, the ultrasonic level meter 12, and the flowmeter 20 at the same time.

When the measurement system is in the first working mode, the computer acquires in real time the measurement data of the ammeter and the ultrasonic level meter. The specific measurement method includes the following steps.

During the spray test of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1, the computer acquires in real time data of the current I output by the ammeter 9 according to a sampling period T₁ of the ammeter, and acquires in real time data of the liquid level height h output by the ultrasonic level meter 12 according to a sampling period T₂ of the ultrasonic level meter. The sampling duration of the computer is t1 ranging from 30T-50T, wherein T is a larger value of T₁ and T₂.

During the system test, the computer acquires the data of the current I and the liquid level height h within the sampling duration t1 to respectively generate arrays I1=[I1₁, I1₂, . . . , I1_(n)] and h1=[h1₁, h1₂, . . . , h1_(n)]. The computer firstly calculates coefficients of fluctuation

${S\; 1_{h\; 1}} = {{\frac{{\max\left( {h\; 1} \right)} - {\min\left( {h\; 1} \right)}}{\overset{\_}{h\; 1}}\mspace{14mu}{and}\mspace{14mu} S\; 2_{h\; 1}} = {\frac{h\; 1_{m}}{\overset{\_}{h\; 1}}}}$ of the array h1, wherein max(h1) is the maximum value in the array h1, min(h1) is the minimum value in the array h1,

${\overset{\_}{h\; 1} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{h\; 1_{i}}}{n}},$ and h1_(m) is the median of the array h1.

When the coefficients of fluctuation S1_(h1) and S2_(h1) satisfy both the conditions S1_(h1)≤6% and 97%≤S2_(h1)≤103%, the computer processes the arrays I1 and h1, respectively acquires through calculation the mean values

$\overset{\_}{I\; 1} = {{\frac{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{I\; 1_{i}}}{n}\mspace{14mu}{and}\mspace{14mu}\overset{\_}{h\; 1}} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{h\; 1_{i}}}{n}}$ of the arrays I1 and h1, and outputs I1 and h1 as the real-time current value and the real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively. When the coefficients of fluctuation S1_(h1) and S2_(h1) fail to satisfy both the conditions S1_(h1)≤6% and 97%≤S2_(h1)≤103%, the computer still outputs I1 and h1 as the real-time current value and the real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively, and meanwhile, outputs the coefficients of fluctuation S1_(h1) and S2_(h1) synchronously for the reference of testers.

When the measurement system is in the second working mode, the computer acquires in real time the measurement data of the ammeter, the ultrasonic level meter, and the flowmeter. The specific measurement method includes the following steps.

During the spray test of the electrostatic atomization nozzle 1, the computer acquires in real time data of the current I output by the ammeter 9 according to the sampling period T₁ of the ammeter, acquires in real time data of the liquid level height h output by the ultrasonic level meter 12 according to the sampling period T₂ of the ultrasonic level meter, and acquires in real time data of the spray flow q output by the flowmeter 20 according to a sampling period T₃ of the flowmeter. The sampling duration of the computer is t2 ranging from 30T-50T, wherein T is the maximum value of T₁, T₂, and T₃.

During the system test, the computer acquires the data of the current I, the liquid level height h, and the spray flow q within the sampling duration t2 to respectively generate arrays I2=[I2₁, I2₂, . . . , I2_(n)], h2=[h2₁, h2₂, . . . , h2_(n)], and q1=[q1₁, q1₂, . . . , q1_(n)]. The computer firstly calculates coefficients of fluctuation

${{S\; 1_{h\; 2}} = \frac{{\max\left( {h\; 2} \right)} - {\min\left( {h\; 2} \right)}}{\overset{\_}{h\; 2}}},{{S\; 2_{h\; 2}} = {❘{\frac{h\; 2_{m}}{\overset{\_}{h\; 2}}❘}}},{{S\; 1_{q\; 1}} = \frac{{\max\left( {q\; 1} \right)} - {\min\left( {q\; 1} \right)}}{\overset{\_}{q\; 1}}},{{{and}\mspace{14mu} S\; 2_{q\; 1}} = {❘{\frac{q\; 1_{m}}{\overset{\_}{q\; 1}}❘}}}$ of the arrays h2 and q1, wherein max(h2) is the maximum value in the array h2, min(h2) is the minimum value in the array h2,

$\overset{¯}{h2} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{h\; 2_{i}}}{n}$ and h2_(m) is the median of the array h2, max(q1) is the maximum value in the array q1, min(q1) is the minimum value in the array q1,

$\overset{\_}{q\; 1} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{q\; 1_{i}}}{n}$ and q1_(m) is the median of the array q1.

When the coefficients of fluctuation S1_(h2), S2_(h2), S1_(q1), and S2_(q1) satisfy all the conditions S1_(h2)≤6%, 97%≤S2_(h2)≤103%, S1_(q1)≤3%, and 98%≤S2_(q1)≤102%, the computer processes the arrays I2 and h2, respectively acquires through calculation the mean values

$\overset{\_}{I\; 2} = {{\frac{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{I\; 2_{i}}}{n}\mspace{14mu}{and}\mspace{14mu}\overset{\_}{h\; 2}} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{h\; 2_{i}}}{n}}$ of the arrays I2 and h2, and outputs I2 and h2 as the real-time current value and the real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively. When the coefficients of fluctuation S1_(h2), S2_(h2), S1_(q1), and S2_(q1) fail to satisfy all the conditions S1_(h2)≤6%, 97%≤S2_(h2)≤103%, S1_(q1)≤3%, and 98%≤S2_(q1)≤102%, the computer still outputs I2 and h2 as the real-time current value and the real-time liquid level height of this spray test respectively, and meanwhile, outputs the coefficients of fluctuation S1_(h2), S2_(h2), S1_(q1), and S2_(q1) synchronously for the reference of testers.

During the test, the computer system calculates the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle according to the real-time current value and the real-time liquid level height output in the spray test. The charge-to-mass ratio parameter is specifically calculated by using the following formula:

$ɛ = {{k_{1}\frac{\overset{\_}{I\; 1}}{{{\rho d}_{1}}^{2}\sqrt{g\overset{\_}{h\; 1}}}} = {k_{1}\frac{\overset{\_}{I\; 2}}{{{\rho d}_{1}}^{2}\sqrt{g\overset{\_}{h\; 2}}}}}$ wherein ε, in microcoulombs/kilogram, is the charge-to-mass ratio parameter of the electrostatic atomization nozzle; ρ, in kilograms/cubic meter, is the density of the liquid to be sprayed by the electrostatic atomization nozzle; d₁, in meters, is the inner diameter of the lower-cylinder water outlet pipe; g, in meters/second squared, is gravitational acceleration; k₁ is modification coefficient, k₁=1080-1120; I1 and I2, in amperes, are real-time current values during the test of the measurement system; h1 and h2, in meters, are real-time liquid level heights during the test of the measurement system.
